Nokia 8.1 can already be updated to the beta version of the current Android 11
HMD Global released its plans to update Nokia smartphones to Android 11 back in October. However, until now, none of the devices have received the software update. Today, a video appeared on the web showing a Nokia 8.1 smartphone running Android 11.
This isn’t about custom firmware. The video, uploaded to YouTube by one of the users of the XDA Developers forum, not only demonstrates the operation of the latest firmware on a smartphone in 2018 but also contains instructions, guided by which everyone can install the closed beta version of Android 11 on Nokia 8.1. The update contains the December security patch … It is assumed that the stable version of the software will be released at the end of the month unless serious flaws are found during testing. It should be noted that the stable operation of the smartphone running the software shown in the video is not guaranteed.
Recall that the Nokia 8.1 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset. The smartphone boasts a 6.18-inch display with a 6.18-inch diagonal and Full HD + resolution. The main camera of the device is represented by a double module consisting of 13- and 12-megapixel sensors. The smartphone was originally launched running Android 9.
